Questions


Why do I not want to see?

Why am I refusing

to acknowledge the truth?

Why did I not recognise

that, it is, perhaps,

a little too soon?



Why am I so helpless?

Why can't I forget

and just let go?

Why is it, tell me, 

so difficult, so tough

to just carry on?



There is sunshine, I know,

At the end of every tunnel.

Why, then, is it so dark yet?

Do I not deserve even the moonlight?



Why are these shadows

my only companions?

Where are the signs

of your benign presence?

Where is the peace

that you promised me?

Where is the calm?

Oh! Why can I not see?

..............................................................................................................................................

Author's note: Do you have any answers?

P.S.: I am hungry and bored.

P.P.S.:  This is not a 'dark, brooding post'. People who think I'm always depressed... let me just tell you that I'm roaring with laughter right now. Such is the tragicomedy of life!

*wink*

Loved the line. Loved the entire piece too.

People who think you are always depressed. Hmm... now whom might you be referring to?? :-) :-)

Am glad you are laughing over this. As for your hunger... Google up domino's for your city. :-)

And well, the light at the end of the tunnel has been removed due to power cuts. Recession you see. :-) :-)

Seriously, there are no answers to them, but a solution. And that, one achieves after experimenting with life. :-) (The philosopher in me has spoken. lolz)

Take care

@ Aniket

1) Well... everyone who reads my blog thinks that. :)

2) I'm not much of a pizza person, you see.

3) Ah! I thought they were celebrating the earth hour.

The philosopher in me has understood it well; thank you. :-)

Keep visiting.
Cheers!

Abhijeet !! who else ? said...

Yup i do have some explanation for your queries.
But y should i let you know so easilly :P
Your dreams and desires will soon rest in peace.

Kriti said...

@ Abhijeet

Tumhe to maine achhe se batana hai..
Tum baat to karo!!!

Why would you let me rest in peace, eh? Why would you tell me anything? You would just sit,
all smug.. while I'm all confused.. and I'll hear a snigger.. and that would turn out to be My Nemesis!!

Agh! I just wish you were here.. I would have..
Oh well.. dunno what i would've done..
:(

Kriti said...

@ Shantanu


Hahaha. That is exactly why i was laughing... Nobody knows why i wrote this.. and they'll come with super imaginative ideas and answers and what-not.. Thinking of that made me laugh.. :P

ShantanuDas said...

haha Kriti...I suspect that u r one of those who find it secretly satisfying to read comments on your blogs.. from people who think they have undestood your posts. (proses and poems)..!! hehe


So u see.. that I have not tried to say anywhere much that I have understood you!!

I am just reading and enjoying a cracked person!!

Dr. Acula said...

Oh, I wrote a very similar blog post too once. Still have it as a draft..decided against publishing it. And I was not really roaring with laughter then. But, I get the tragicomedy of life! Yeah, well.

Oh, and nice blog!! :)

Kriti said...

Ah! Thank you!

Glad you got the tragicomedy thing..
;-)
